Chapter 315: The Last Hindsight
However, fortunately, when they were in Hexi, they suffered from the extreme cold and were also accustomed to the rough and long-lasting wind and sand in the Hexi Corridor, so although they took off their more practical sheepskin jackets, they didn't feel how difficult the weather in this pass was.
At this time, I heard that His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun came over in person, and one by one it was as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
"Subordinates meet His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson......"
As he spoke, he held his coat one by one.
Zhao Ying couldn't help but admire.
"Good! Reading can really be reasonable, enlightened, and cured, you have only been reading for half a year, and now you have the style of a gentleman, and the etiquette of a gentleman......"
"This is all the work of His Highness's education!"
Meng Yu hesitated for a moment, and before he could think of how to answer, a man from the Yue clan with a full beard, a high nose and deep eyes, and a thick face stood up and snatched the words with a fanatical face.
Zhao Ying couldn't help but glance at him more, his eyes full of approval.
"What's your name?"
"Back to His Royal Highness, his subordinates were born in Hexi Zhangye's Captain Chi family, and they have admired the Central Plains culture for a long time, but they only hate being late, so they take the Chi character in the original surname as the surname, and their own name is late!"
Zhao Ying reached out and gently patted him on the shoulder with a look of approval.
"Good! From now on, you will be the deputy general of the Junzi Battalion, assisting General Meng Yu......"
Belated to hear the words overjoyed.
He bowed deeply to Zhao Ying.
"Thank you, Your Highness, I am willing to serve Your Highness to the death!"
Zhao Ying nodded slightly.
"Good!"
Unexpectedly, on a whim, come and go around, there is such a surprise, Zhao Ying is in a good mood, with a wave of his hand, everyone is rewarded with some wine and food, and these "gentlemen" are given a seven-day vacation.
The Chinese New Year is over, so it is natural for these gentlemen to see the prosperous style of Daqin, which is lively and prosperous.
Zhao Ying felt that during the Chinese New Year, it might be possible to gather students from various schools in Xianyang City to organize a literary meeting.
If you learn like grinding, you will see a gentleman.
It can also allow this group of people to feel Daqin's style more intuitively.
After glancing at it, Eguan Bo took it, and tried his best to get closer to Meng Yu in the direction of the literati, Zhao Ying's heart moved, and he turned around and ordered.
"I want to organize a literary meeting in my general's mansion after the New Year, and invite scholars from all over Xianyang City to gather together to learn from each other, discuss articles, and write poems, and sit and talk about the general trend ......of the world, and you can also make tea and taste tea, and talk about Fengyue - you are responsible for this matter, and it is best to hand me a charter in the next two days."
Meng Yu was overjoyed when he heard this.
"No!"
……
Time, in the blink of an eye, entered the last day of the thirty-sixth year of the Great Qin Shi Huangdi.
According to the original history, just after the New Year, the first emperor, who had finished sacrificing to his ancestor Sheji, left Xianyang in a hurry on the third day of the Lunar New Year and began his last parade.
Then, after overwork, he became ill and fell ill in the dunes.
What happened to make the First Emperor go out on tour in such a hurry?
Zhao Ying didn't know.
I don't know if it was my own crossing that caused the butterfly effect, and the change that made the First Emperor can't wait to parade has not yet appeared.
But the more this is the case, the more Zhao Ying dare not relax at all.
"Husband, take a break today, do you still want to go to the palace......"
Seeing Zhao Ying get up early in the morning to wash and order people to prepare horses, Wang Nan couldn't help frowning slightly and added.
"Didn't Sister Yueji say that Guicheng Hou is going to visit the mansion today?"
Zhao Ying's footsteps paused slightly, and then smiled and waved his hand.
"Guicheng Hou is not an outsider, if you come early, you can let Zhang Fucheng be in charge of the reception first, today Chinese New Year's Eve, I will go to the palace to invite my father and mother to come over for the New Year......
"Father and mother are coming over today to celebrate the New Year together?"
Wang Nan's eyes widened in surprise.
Zhao Ying smiled and nodded.
"It's just that I plan to do so, but I haven't told my father yet—I'll go first......"
After saying that, he went straight out the door.
Outside the door, Cone Gu had already pulled the dark clouds to cover the snow and stood aside. To Zhao Ying's surprise, Xiaoyaosheng also followed behind the horse's ass with a frown.
"Do you have a problem?"
Zhao Ying couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly and glanced at him.
"No, it's okay - I'll just, I'll just go around, ......"
Zhao Ying: ......
Withdrawing his gaze, he shook the reins and jumped out. Cone Gu behind him also shook the reins and chased after him.
Escape: ......
Isn't this highness not curious at all?
Why don't you stop and ask me why, I've done it so obviously......
It's very aggrieved!
From the Changgongzi's Mansion to the Imperial Palace, although the distance is very close, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and although it is still early, the streets have begun to be lively. Countless merchants have taken off the door panels and started to open, and the people who came out and wanted to take the opportunity of the last day to buy some cheap New Year's goods also arrived at the place early.
Then, many people found out -
The price of the things I want to buy is not only not cheaper, but a few points more expensive......
I can only scold my mother while gritting my teeth, and I bought a little less.
Although the days are sad, the New Year still has to be lived.
After the New Year, you still have to buy some New Year's goods.
Zhao Ying was not in a hurry, he held the reins, watched the flow of people coming and going, and felt a little emotion in his heart, this blink of an eye, he was about to usher in the second Spring Festival in Daqin.
After this New Year, it will be the thirty-seventh year of Great Qin, and his body will also usher in the seventeenth year.
Despite this, it was not too late for Zhao Ying to arrive at the palace.
Compared with yesterday, today's palace is less of a group of courtiers who have to enter the palace every day to ask for instructions, and it is becoming more and more lonely and lonely.
"See Your Highness—"
Ziyu didn't expect that on Chinese New Year's Eve today, Zhao Hao still came so early.
Seeing Zhao Ying's figure from a distance, he hurried up to meet him. These days, actively approaching His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun, finally yielded results, although he failed to get the opportunity to go out of the town like Jiang Lu, nor did he get the opportunity to lead the army like Gongzi Gao, but he successfully took over the errand of the palace guards in Hu Hai's hands.
Zhao Ying smiled and nodded.
"General Ziying, don't be polite - Your Majesty, have you gotten up today......"
"Already went to the back garden......"
Ziying replied with a smile.
Zhao Ying thanked him and walked straight to the back garden.
With the special order of the First Emperor, he is now in the palace, straight and unscrupulous, and the guards and palace maids on both sides have long been accustomed to the existence of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson of the emperor.
Wherever they passed, they avoided the side of the road and bowed down.
"It's rare for me to be idle today, and I just want to be alone for a clean day, why do you come here again to bother me......"
The First Emperor was looking at his withered vegetable garden with his hands behind his back in a daze, but when he suddenly saw Zhao Ying coming in, a smile that couldn't be concealed appeared on the corner of his mouth, but his mouth was full of disgust.
Zhao Ying said with a smile.
"I'll come over to supervise and see if my father and mother have practiced boxing well......"
The First Emperor angrily raised his leg and kicked him.
"Stinky boy, you don't let people live in peace for a day......"
Zhao Ying had already avoided with a smile.
In the gap between talking and laughing, Concubine Zheng arrived.
Obviously, Concubine Zheng didn't expect her eldest grandson to come at this time, and she said with a surprised face.
"Ying'er, you are not at home with Nan'er and the others, why did you come to the palace early in the morning......
Zhao Ying stepped forward with a smile to salute.
"Maybe it's because I'm used to it, I don't see my father and mother for a day, and I feel uncomfortable in my heart, so I just come over and have a meal with my father and mother......"
When Concubine Zheng heard this, she smiled so much that the corners of her eyes were fish-printed.
"Your child, how old are you, how can you stick to your father and mother all day long, it's rare to have a free time, not to mention accompanying your wife and concubine at home - Nan'er and Yu Ji are already pregnant, you have to care more about ......"
Zhao Ying said yes with a smile.
At Zhao Ying's insistence, Emperor Shi and Concubine Zheng, who had originally planned to relax for a day, did Tai Chi again.
Although he still failed to practice qi, he was much more relaxed when he was able to invigorate his blood.
Three of them, having breakfast together in the back garden.
The first emperor is wolfberry millet porridge, with a plate of verdant and green pickled cucumbers, a plate of boiled broad beans, and the opening of the Hexi Corridor and the Western Regions really greatly enriched the dining table of the Qin people.
There are many more options.
Zhao Ying, as always, stewed venison with ginseng, as well as a large portion of boiled mutton, plus a few crisp and delicious side dishes. As for Concubine Zheng, she was pinching the fat and juicy Gouignore buns as always, and eating them in small bites.
Looking at the speed, it is not in a hurry or slow, and it is quite graceful, but the speed is not affected at all.
After breakfast, Zhao Ying handed the dishes and chopsticks to the maid on the side, and then thought about sending a formal invitation to the First Emperor and Concubine Zheng.
"Father, Mother, I specially asked people to prepare some good things that you have never seen before, waiting for the New Year - you two might as well go over together and have a lively ......"
The First Emperor didn't expect Zhao Ying to come over today, and he actually wanted to invite himself to the mansion for the New Year, so he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment when he heard this. was hesitating, but heard Zhao Ying already say with a smile.
"The New Year's Day, naturally the family gets together to be lively and happy, your old couple in this palace, what does it mean to be deserted - you don't know, I specially prepared a New Year's gift for you, then it is really in front of you, to see its wonders, gone, gone, gone......"
First Emperor: ......
The old couple were dragged into the carriage by Zhao Ying.
Wang Nan didn't expect that his husband really invited the First Emperor and Concubine Zheng, and Mi Ji didn't expect that the First Emperor and Concubine Zheng would come to his house for the New Year.
Since marrying her husband, she has never been.
Therefore, he was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward to greet the First Emperor and Concubine Zheng.
The First Emperor nodded slightly.
"I can't resist the entanglement of this stinky boy, so I came here to take a look - there is no distinction between monarchs and ministers today, as long as the gifts of relatives, you don't have to be restrained, and you don't have to stay with me, you can ...... with Ying'er's here."
Ji Ji et al.: ......
He retreated very knowingly, and Zhao Ying pulled the First Emperor and Concubine Zheng to admire his masterpiece with great interest.
"The days increase and the years increase, the people increase the longevity, and the spring is full of blessings."
Horizontal batch: Vientiane update.
Seeing that the First Emperor stopped and admired the couplet, Zhao Ying smiled.
"This is the Spring Festival couplet, the new thing I have figured out from the peach charm and other things, which can be used instead of the peach charm, or both-in short, the red paper and black letters, I also feel festive when I look at it."
Zhao Ying casually introduced the Spring Festival couplets as he walked.
"Yes, it does seem festive......"
The first emperor asked a few words casually, and then he knew that most of these Spring Festival couplets were from Zhao Qi's hands, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
"I didn't expect such a talent ......"
Zhao Ying said with a smile.
"The second brother is really good, he is very attentive in his homework, and he can endure it. I originally thought that after the Chinese New Year, I would simply find him an errand in Shangjun - it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and whether a person has talent or not, I still have to give him an official position to try......"
When the First Emperor heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and couldn't stop.
"How old are you......"
"After the New Year, I will be thirteen years old......"
As soon as Zhao Ying said this, the First Emperor's brows couldn't help frowning even tighter.
"You want Qi'er to follow your family......"
Knowing that his own little caution would not be able to hide it from the First Emperor, he smiled very simply and nodded.
"It's windy in Shangjun, Ah Weng is alone, Ah Yu and I are a little uneasy after all, with the second brother by our side, we can also take care of it."
Speaking of this, Zhao Ying paused in his tone and added.
"Besides, the second brother has now finished reading the new textbooks I compiled, and has a superficial understanding of the classics of Confucianism, Mo, and Taoism, and then continues to study deeply, it no longer makes much sense, our royal children are cultivating talents for governing the country, not the old pedants of the Haoshou poor scriptures, whether the knowledge in the book is right, how to use it, in the final analysis, you have to experience it yourself......"
The First Emperor turned his head and looked at him with scrutinizing eyes, and he also looked back at the First Emperor calmly.
"It's just that simple?"
Zhao Ying nodded very resolutely.
"It's that simple!"
Looking at Zhao Ying, who looked calm, the First Emperor suddenly smiled, and his face was playful.
"I thought you wanted to forgive the sins of the rebel son—don't you really think about it? Maybe I'll really agree......"
Zhao Ying: ......
"Alright then, please forgive Aong's sins......"
"I disagree!"
Zhao Ying: ......
It's fun to peel it, isn't it?
Looking at Zhao Ying's helpless expression, the First Emperor couldn't help but feel good.
Zhao Ying: Actually, he is in a good mood.
To be fair, at this point in time, he really didn't want Fusu to come back.
Fusu is back, what should I do?
That's the nominal father, the real father of this body, if he is interested, it is easy to say, if he has any ideas, is it difficult for him to abdicate and make way for Xian, leaving Daqin to him to toss?
But he can't leave himself in the upper county.
Considering the stupid choice in his history, he must hold his hand steady and send his second brother over to keep an eye on, once something happens and there are unknown changes that he can't control, he can also save Su's life and give himself an extra help.
